Looks like April 9 – 11th we get to see who’s team is better when the Sox gets bounced by the Beaver Wrestlers, eh?

S’cool, baby. I been practicing my back patting and hand holding for when the pummeling happens. I shall be a pillar of Ble Jay support for you to lean upon.

Let make it date, shall we? We can meet on the HBT post that best reflects the game and discuss the trouncing as it unfolds.

Meantime, Ive been extolling your culinary virtues over on the latest steroid post. Check it out: I quote the Flaming Lips for you.

They’ll be fine, until the RS shove it down their face! Baby, I mean that in that in the most bittersweet way possible.

But I have several buddies who are Redlegs fans such as yourself and they absolutely love the guy as well. A lot of that comes from us taking in at least 5 games a year in Cincinnati when the Cardinals are in town (along with me singing his praises to the point of my buddies now paying attention. For the last two years they have openly stated they would love to have him as their 3rd Baseman.
It’s okay Man. You can like him and not be a traitor. I like Cozart!

But at least be somewhat intelligient about your smack talk.

As Brewcrew states…them NOT ruling is very well known.

Wed, 04 Apr 2012 16:18:29 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=135489#comment-279140Freese’s rise to elite 3B status, has only been hindered by injuries. And they have been more of the freak variety, car accident, HBP, which may be more of an instance of bad luck than fragile body. His RBI per opportunities is off the charts. His power is to right/right center, which allows him to wait on the ball longer, making him a tougher out, and a good 2 strike hitter.

Granted he has only had 2 MLB seasons and in both he only played 2/3 of the time. But he has also never failed to produce. No guarantees here, but so far he has always been very, very good.

Wed, 04 Apr 2012 15:38:06 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=135489#comment-279103Well, he probably will be one of the better 3B in the league if he stays healthy…there just are not very many good 3B these days. If he had played all season last year, he probably would have been a top 5 or 6 3B in the majors….but that says just as much about the lack of depth at the position as it does about Freese. I think most people expect him to be an above average player for a few years, with decent OBP and little power and some inconsistent fielding (he is great at following up a great play by booting an easy one).

Wed, 04 Apr 2012 15:18:25 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=135489#comment-279085Fair enough. I get the WS hoopla totally, but I feel like I keep hearing (from fans, mostly, which…you know) he’s going to be one of the better 3B in the league. I’m not a Cards fan and thus don’t watch them unless they play the Reds, so I may be misinformed and maybe he is the balls. I just don’t buy it yet.

Looking forward to a fun season though.

Wed, 04 Apr 2012 15:03:54 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=135489#comment-279075Freese is an above average 3B, in a lineup with Beltran, Berkman, Holliday, and Craig….he’s a hell of a good 5th best hitter. Freese is indicative of the depth of the Cardinals lineup.

I have not seen a single person “hang their hat” on Freese. People love him because he was the WS hero, not because they think he’s going to carry the team.
